New X-ray method reconstructs gas turbine blade geometry with subpixel accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel 3D-2D rigid registration method to accurately reconstruct the geometry of gas turbine blades using X-ray projections. This approach aligns computer-aided design (CAD) models with X-ray images by maximizing mutual information, offering an alternative to full CT reconstruction for inspection. The study found that a limited number of oblique views can provide optimal accuracy, achieving subpixel registration precision even with image noise and defects. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a novel method for precise geometric reconstruction in manufacturing, potentially improving quality control and efficiency in industries relying on complex component inspection.
